Parking company is Security Solutions Wilmslow. Will this company be allowed to take him to court? Will it affect credit rating?

Anyone can issue a court claim against anyone else. Winning the case however is another matter entirely, which is why these scum never do it.

For credit rating to be affected all the following has to happen:

1 They take him to court
2 They win
3 He still doesn't pay.

As they never go to court this is impossible, so stop worrying.

When bailiffs may be used

Your creditor (the person you owe money to) can make a claim against you in the county court. A County Court Judgment (CCJ) may be made stating that you must repay the debt.

If you don’t make the payments ordered by the court, your creditor can ask the court to issue a 'warrant of execution'. This means that county court bailiffs may be called in to help recover the debt. You can ask the court to suspend the warrant - see the ‘How to avoid being visited by county court bailiffs’ section below.

If you owe tax to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), or Council Tax to your local authority, they may send private bailiffs to recover the debt.

Debt collectors

Creditors may use a debt collection agency to ask you to pay off the debt.
Debt collectors aren't court officials and don't have the same powers as bailiffs. They can't enter your home or seize your possessions. They can only write, phone, or visit your home to talk to you about the debt and how to pay it back.

Creditors and debt collectors must follow OFT (Office of Fair Trading) debt collection guidance.
